The lesions are from the back of a 43-year-old woman (Figure 1), the left leg of a 52-year-old man (Figure 2), and the back of a 55-year-old man (Figure 3) (size bar, 5 mm). All 3 lesions reveal a similar pattern, a central network with white lines and brown holes. This feature has been called the central white network and is usually surrounded by a discrete pigment network. It is characteristic of some large dermatofibromas. The central white network is a variation of the classic central white scarlike patch in that the histopathologic correlation is similar. However, this dermoscopic feature appears particularly interesting in light of the differential diagnosis from other pigmented lesions. Histopathologically, it corresponds with a special distribution of the central fibrosis of dermatofibromas. This feature should be differentiated from a dermoscopic . . . [Full Text of this Article]
